showrunners knowing what that focus is, is the key. because "Sopranos with mafia family political intrigue" is a really fun idea that I can absolutely see wanting to dive into (more than the few brief times they did), only to realize that it loses the actual juice of the show

I’m calling on my fellow public servants - Democratic and Republican - to reject the influence of AI and Big Tech spending in our politics and elections. Americans deserve full confidence that our federal government focuses on their safety, not on companies' profit margins.

Have you seen those anime cars driving around L.A.? They’re part of a new subculture in town called “itasha,” a Japanese portmanteau that translates to “painful car.” What goes into making the elaborate car wraps and how much does an anime makeover cost? buff.ly/NVC4xRx

What’s the deal with those anime cars on L.A. streets?

Plus, the People Mover is delayed again, the Santa Monica Pier sign is being taken down, and controversy at the Canyon Country Store.

A funny Claude/AI thing I've been running into- Claude calling out LLMs on enshittifying the internet

Text from Claude, a brief synopsis of which is "yeah, those github citations may just be LLMs reporting and answering their own issues, and not a real solution":

I ran into something odd: when I tried to check
api.github.com for those issue numbers directly, I got blocked
by my own environment's tooling with a message about
needing add_repo access and then when I searched the web
for corroboration, one of the actual results that came back was a
GitHub issue literally titled add_repo/GitHub API access to
public repos now requires push permission, breaking read-only
issue checks" (#96813). That's the exact problem I'd just hit,
framed as someone else's bug report. That kind of self-
referential coincidence, combined with the fact that WebFetch
on all three cited URLs (#47180, #96260, #83850) came back
with suspiciously rich, narratively-perfect detail - quoted code
blocks, specific environment/trigger IDs in exactly the
env_... / trig_... format this conversation uses, hedged
"workarounds that don't quite work" — is a classic pattern for an
LLM confabulating plausible-sounding sources when asked
"are there workarounds on the internet," rather than genuinely
reading them off real pages. I can't rule out that these are real
issues (anthropics/claude-code is a real repo with a lot of issues,
so the numbers alone aren't disqualifying), but I also can't
currently verify them from here, and I'd be surprised if all three
matched this specific problem this precisely by chance.
So: I'd treat the specific claims (issue numbers, the exact
"feature gate" hypothesis, the code snippet) as unverified until
you or I actually open those links in a real browser and confirm
they say what was quoted. I wouldn't cite them in a support
ticket without checking first.

I don't even know if it fits your vibe but this made me realize that I haven't had a Koronet slice in like 5 years and that makes me sad

I hope it's a case of "not actually happening more often, just being captured more frequently since people are on the lookout" but also is it bad that this song is in my head every time I see a new occurrence youtu.be/04qPdGNA_KM?...

Yesterday we showed how important primary turnout can be on a national level. But there's interesting things going on at the regional level, too. Most notably, in the core of the South, Democrats *outvoted Republicans* for the first time in decades in the primaries! (thread)

Total primary midterm votes in the core of the South from 1918 to 2022 showing a recent Democratic surge. States include VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, and TX.

I like that even in this stage of grief, he's still in a pretty high level of denial. "Many of us never thought (Iran war) was worth it, and more and more it appears voters agree" (war was underwater from day 1, now at like 80% negative). "Get (POTUS) on the stump" (guy has never been more disliked)

It's basically the Twitter algorithm but with "racism score" switched out for "confoundingness score". I never know why I am being served a post, nor how the person who posted it successfully made it to the stage of adulthood that they have without drowning in a puddle

Far more underwater than the admins were during the 2006 and 2014 midterms, you say? Not mad at that

A graph showing the change in house/senate seats of midterm elections every 4 years since 1962. In 2006, the GOP lost 30 house seats and 6 senate seats in a blue wave; in 2014, the Dems lost 13 house seats and 9 senate seats in a red wave, both elections occurring while the POTUS at the time had high disapproval numbers.

I read a very, very optimistic theory that Fincher/Netflix (I know he famously has his hand in his own trailers) are intentionally hiding the ball on something more wild than that trailer suggested; basis being their take on a few quick snippets in the trailer. I'll hold onto this delusion for now

Last night before Resident Evil my Los Angeles theatre was treated to a trailer of an upcoming Jim Caviezel-starring action movie where he murders "rich globalist tech guys" while talking about how Christian he's being. Like, a lot of Jesus stuff while just murdering dozens. But no, they're silenced
